Chen Xingtian did not go back, but stood behind the stadium stage to experience the entire performance at close range.
"Kongkong, please put it into this briefcase later. Although it's a bit crowded, there's nothing you can do about it."
"Woof!"
Chen Xingtian checked all the performance props again. Except for the clothes, which Ding Ruomeng helped him work overtime to make, the other props were purchased from a special magic prop shop during his evening self-study period.
At the same time, because he fully understood the stress, he began to make some special props with his bare hands - a uniform toroidal coil with a groove inside. There are also rotating beads in the groove, which have some characteristics of spark stones. The toroidal coil is an iron coil, but Can be disassembled into four semicircles for easy portability.
There are also some necessary things, such as playing cards, ribbons and the like.
After completing the inspection, he turned his attention to the stage, which was deserted.
After Chang Qiuyue left, the call for others to perform on stage was obviously much smaller. The main reason was that the king's explosion at the beginning was too terrifying and would only lead to upsets in the future.
Of the 22 groups that followed, nearly two-thirds were singers, 2 groups were male and female choruses, 4 groups were same-sex choruses, and 8 groups were solo singers.
The reason why singing has become the most popular performance method in the entertainment industry is because the lower limit is low and the upper limit is high.
As long as you are not mute you can sing, but if you want to sing to the extreme, you also need to work hard.
Whether it is pitch, timbre, male or female voices or scales, they all determine the style and level of a singer.
Chang Qiuyue's timbre is crisp with a hint of hoarseness, which highlights her style. It is not as penetrating, but it is also more recognizable.
As for the next singers, how should I put it, singers whose voices change during adolescence generally have ugly voices, and their scores will be automatically reduced no matter how good they sing.
These guys came up with their own trump cards, such as "Confession Balloon", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "Big Fish", as well as some classics "Glory Days", "Half Moon Serenade", "Ten Years" They were all brought out for singing.
Since some classes did not screen singers, the performance of some singers can no longer be described as eye-catching.
For example, the experimental class 1 overturned this time. Maybe the singer was nervous, or maybe he was tone deaf. When he sang "Daoxiang", he actually smelled of curry. Chen Xingtian fell to his knees as soon as he opened his voice. Good guy, what kind of singing skills can you achieve this? ?
As expected, the judges gave it the lowest ever score of 5.5, not even a passing grade.
The other players also vividly embodied the word "mixed good and bad".
A guy from ordinary class 8 actually clicked on Xin's "I'll Love You Even If You Die". How much courage is this? What's even more amazing is that he actually sang it, and it even sounded inexplicably good. The judges directly gave it an 8.8 score, and he directly ranked second.
The first place is definitely unbeatable. The gap in soft power is too big. It’s not that they don’t work hard, the conditions don’t allow it.
As for the dance group, it's not bad either. It's an event that only professionals can participate in. It's basically watchable, so it's not too bad.
But even so, none of these 22 people scored 9 points. As long as there are school beauties, they will get 9 points? Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality? Chen Xingtian sighed, this was indeed an era of looking at faces.
…
As the last song came to an abrupt end, Chen Xingtian knew it was time for him to take the stage.
After checking the props again, he felt a little flustered for no reason.
My hands were shaking a little, my heartbeat was racing, my adrenaline was soaring, and I couldn't slow it down even with my mental power.
He knew it was called nervousness.
In fact, he has a second purpose for participating in the performance this time - to say goodbye to depression completely.
He knew that even today, he was still listless about some things, and he was still afraid of talking to strangers.
When he initially suffered from depression, he needed strong psychological suggestion for further treatment. He knew that it was impossible for him to go to a psychiatrist because the risk was too great, so he could only treat it by himself.
He could completely refuse Chang Qiuyue's trip into this muddy water, and he wouldn't have to suffer so many misunderstandings.
But people's hearts are complicated. They want others to recognize themselves, but they also want to live in peace until the end.
Also, can he really ignore Chang Qiuyue completely? He can't do it.
So far, Chang Qiuyue has only peeked into his secrets, and has not done anything to harm him. Peeping is human nature, just like Chen Xingtian will now involuntarily open his senses and often see things he shouldn't see.
Who can say whether this is right or wrong.
He had sworn never to reveal his ability in front of outsiders, but he had broken it time and time again. Did he really need to hide it?
Sometimes he wonders, what kind of person should he become if he has such an unsolvable ability?
Cruel and ruthless, making everyone fear you?
Or bloom the glory of humanity and bathe in the sunshine of justice?
Maybe all the questions can be answered from the show.
…
Standing behind the red curtain, looking at the sea of people in front of the translucent curtain, Chen Xingtian's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and the past was replayed like a revolving lantern.
Finally, at a certain critical point, he relaxed because he turned off his perception. He knew that in this performance, he did not need to care about other people's feelings. He only needed to watch the audience cheer him, and that was enough.
The curtain unfolds.
The six judges sat in the audience closest to him.
He took a deep breath: "Classmates and teachers, part of the reason why I stand on this stage today is to become famous.
But for another part of the reason, I don't know how to explain it. I want to find the answer, so I stepped on this stage.
Next, I will present a few little magic tricks that I created, I hope you all like them. "
There was warm applause from the audience.
Yang Zhen: "This kid is very honest and straightforward. He directly states that he wants to become famous. I like this kind of bold character."
Yang Shilin frowned: "I'm wondering what the second reason he said is?"
Dong Xiang gossiped: "Maybe it has something to do with that little girl?"
"It doesn't look like it. It must be other reasons. Let's take a look first."
…
Chen Xingtian took out a deck of playing cards and showed it in front of the audience: "This is a complete deck of playing cards, with a total of 54 cards. As you can see, there is nothing wrong with it."
Then he shuffled the cards, shuffling the order of the cards to increase credibility.
"Okay, now I want to ask Teacher Yang to come on stage and pick a card from my hand. Just one card will do."
Naturally, Yang Shilin couldn't refuse. He walked onto the stage calmly, and the students in the audience burst into cheers. Magic was the most eye-catching thing.
"Okay, now please ask Teacher Yang to show the cards to the students. You don't have to show them to me."
Yang Shilin took a card from his hand, a six of clubs, and showed a close-up of the card. Chen Xingtian did not look back at the big screen, but opened the briefcase in his hand.
Inadvertently, my hand slipped and the briefcase fell to the ground.
The audience instantly burst into boos.
"Did this guy make a mistake because he was too nervous?"
"I think yes, standing there alone is still too stressful."
"Haha, just take it off, you deserve it."
…
But when Chen Xingtian picked up the briefcase on the ground, the contents slipped out involuntarily, including a plum blossom and six coins.
"Haha, all the props fell out."
"Are you blind? See for yourself what falls out."
"Fuck!"
The audience burst into exclamations. It was so amazing. It looked like a slippery hand, but it was actually part of the magic.
A branch of clubs and six coins, doesn’t it just correspond to a six of clubs?
"Awesome boy, no leaks."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xingtian put away the six of clubs, holding all 54 cards in his hand.
Suddenly, he performed a flying card trick, flicking the entire deck of cards from his left hand to his right hand, as if the cards were being sucked there.
The audience was amazed again.
"Fuck, how did you do that?"
"It's very simple. After a long period of practice, you can flick the cards one by one... Damn it!"
The man who was explaining to his companion just now was shocked because he saw all the cards that popped up floating in the air strangely!
"I absolutely can't do this, it's too outrageous."
"Isn't this magic?"
Chen Xingtian continued to play the cards, from his left hand to his right hand and back again.
After four times in a row, all the cards changed strangely. The cards that originally had blue backs turned blue when they were popped out again!
The audience screamed in surprise.
"This is getting more and more evil. Is there a mezzanine?"
"Ha, even if there is a mezzanine, you can only control one card at most. At least I have never seen a card that changes color like this."
"That's right, there are too many cards, no matter how fast your hand is, you still can't react."
Suddenly, Chen Xingtian on the stage seemed to be out of his depth. All the cards accidentally fell on the ground, and he had to squat down to pick them up.
The melon-eating crowd in the audience saw the performer being defeated and began to gloat again.
"Haha, he must have made a mistake this time. Look, his hands are cramped."
"Haha, I can see it too. I definitely made a mistake this time."
Even several judges frowned slightly, the kid was still too nervous.
But when Chen Xingtian squatted down to pick up the cards and stood up again, everyone's eyes widened.
Because the moment he stood up, the bloated school uniform he was originally wearing suddenly turned into a gorgeous tuxedo, blinding everyone in the audience.
"Fuck, it's another trick! What a good guy, you're doing a great job."
"This guy is not a good person at first glance. I will never trust him again, eh eh eh."
"One click to change clothes? Coach, I want to learn!"
Chen Xingtian heard the happy and angry voices in the audience, but didn't pay much attention. At this moment, he only picked up 20 cards, and the remaining 34 cards were still scattered on the ground. He was very anxious, and it took too long to pick up these cards.
So he turned around, and when he turned around again, there was a magic hat in his hand. It was a cylindrical hat, quite like a European magician's top hat.
The only characteristic is that this hat seems to be alive, just like the Sorting Hat in "Harry Potter". The opening opens and closes, as if it is discussing something with Chen Xingtian.
"Is this person probably coming to our school after graduating from Hogwarts? Could this be the Sorting Hat?"
"Holy stuff? Sorting Hat?"
"You don't understand if you haven't seen Harry Potter. Go cool down."
Chen Xingtian seemed to have reached an agreement with the Sorting Hat, but the Sorting Hat opened its "bloody mouth" and the playing cards on the ground trembled involuntarily.
At a certain moment, the "suction force" reached a critical point, and all the cards on the ground flew up and were sucked into the hat, which also burped.
"belch!"
Offstage.
"..."
"impossible!"
"I'm numb. If this person wasn't me from Hogwarts... you would have diarrhea while standing upside down."
"Die to me."
Yang Shilin watched Chen Xingtian's miraculous performance attentively and showed a pleased expression.
Dong Xiang on the side joked: "Mr. Yang has never shown such an expression."
Yang Shilin did not refute: "This is indeed the most bizarre performance I have ever seen. If I were to rate it, it would be at least a 9. Let's see what other tricks he can come up with."
When Chen Xingtian saw that the card had been eaten by the hat, he reached into the hat's mouth angrily, but unfortunately he didn't touch anything. He even showed the hat's mouth to the audience, but there was nothing inside.
He yelled angrily: "Don't think it's important that you come from Hogwarts. Let's see how I deal with you!"
Audience in the audience: "???"
"Is it possible that you are from two other colleges?"
"Why are you yelling so loudly? It's scaring the baby to death."
"Is there a sandwich in the hat?"
Chen Xingtian took out a hanging ring from his pocket.
That's right, it's the same hanging ring as in "Doctor Strange". Doctor Strange used this thing to draw the portal.
At this moment, he put on the hanging ring and kept drawing circles in the air.
"...It turns out he is from the Nepali camp."
"Nepal camp?"
"That's where Doctor Strange went to learn the spell."
"If he could really draw a circle, I would...continue to watch right then and there!"
People around him looked at him with disgust.
Then, a shocking scene appeared in front of his eyes. A circle of pale golden sparks appeared in front of his eyes, and it became increasingly clear.
At the moment when the spark circle was completely formed, Chen Xingtian threw his hat into it. The hat did not fall on the stage, but disappeared out of thin air.
"..."
"It turns out there really is magic in this world."
"It turns out Doctor Strange and Harry Potter are on opposite sides."
"I was so stupid that I didn't learn magic."
Everyone was numb because they were not even sure if this was true. Chen Xingtian subverted their views time and time again, making them feel like they were living in a dream.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the circle of sparks, scaring the audience into screaming.
"There aren't really any monsters inside, are there?"
"Don't worry, based on my years of experience watching magic...it must be possible!"
"Damn it, am I going to die here today? I still have so many school beauties to chase, so much delicious food to eat, so much homework... Suddenly I don't want to live that much."
…
Immediately afterwards, the roaring "monster" walked out of the circle. It waved its terrifying claws and revealed its ferocious face, as if it wanted to eat all the audience in the audience.
Then the audience in the audience was stunned for a moment.
“So cute~”
"Wow, it brings out my girly heart."
"That's a little border collie, it's so fierce. It makes me want to buy one."
These unscrupulous viewers have obviously forgotten what they were worried about just now. Sure enough, cute things can influence everything.
Yang Shilin: "What a monster show. I'm really surprised now."
Tang Zhen frowned: "This is out of the realm of magic, isn't it? How can magic be so dazzling?"
Chen Xingtian was still shouting at the monster on the stage: "Don't come over!"
As he spoke, the monster waved its claws and rushed towards Chen Xingtian, as if it wanted to eat him alive.
Seeing that the monster was about to arrive, he gritted his teeth and took out his trump card - the Eye of Agamotto, also known as the Time Stone.
Surprisingly, this gem still shines, just like the real thing.
Recalling the hand gesture, Chen Xingtian quickly formed a seal in his hand, and then a dark green formation disk appeared in his hand. As if he had spent his whole life, he turned the formation disk.
Time seems to have flown backwards, and everything on the stage seems to be constantly regressing back to its previous state.
The circle of sparks began to rotate backwards, and the "monster" moved backwards in a weird way, as if time had really reversed.
The audience was shocked to the point of numbness.
"How can this be?"
"It's really time reversal!"
"Boy, I don't know anything about this world."
Finally, the monster retreated into the circle of sparks. Chen Xingtian used his last strength to close the portal. He saved the stage!
Only he and a briefcase were left on the stage again, but he was punished by nature for violating the laws of physics, and his body was slowly falling.
Suddenly, a cloak emerged from the briefcase.
"It's the magic floating cloak!"
The audience in the audience could tell at a glance that she was the heroine of "Doctor Strange".
The cloak flew towards Chen Xingtian, supporting his body that was about to fall. It took a long time for him to slowly stand up.
The cloak interacted with him intimately, just like the magic hat before.
Suddenly, a clip from "Doctor Strange" played on the big screen - Dr. Strange threw back his cloak, and the cloak naturally stuck to his collar.
Chen Xingtian also repeated this action in the audience, as if paying tribute to this scene.
The screen goes out and the show ends.
Chen Xingtian bowed towards the audience.
Suddenly, there was silence in the audience.
Immediately, unprecedented warm applause broke out, and after enjoying such a visual feast, the audience knew that this was an unreplicable and miraculous magic show.
The rare applause from the judges' bench also continued without stopping for a long time.
Similarly, Chen Xingtian also had the answer in his heart.
